[WIP] Klingon Warship

[EAS_Intrepid]

Little something for the Klingon fleet.

It is a small to medium cruiser and has several striking resemblances to the more capable and larger Vor'cha class. The ship is a gap filler between the older K'T'Ingas and the Vor'cha. It is better armed than a standard bird-of-prey and is regularly used as a patrol ship.
A number of ships have more sophisticated science equipment. Crew compartments are very compact, even though a ship of this class can operate for at least one year without refuel or rearmament (in peacetime).

Spoiler:

Starfleet Intelligence has no information about the designation or exact specifications of the ship.

I'd remap the front of the neck. It looks a bit over streched there. Other then that looks good

 

[CptBenSisko]

i agree on the mapping idea....but it looks good so far! keep it up

 

[EAS_Intrepid]

Thanks for the suggestion.

Spoiler:

I used stock textures of the Vorcha, the Klingon heavy cruiser and the frigate.
As of now, I do not plan to use other textures, but I might tweak the stock ones a bit.
The mesh itself has only 632 polygons, by the way.

Shes looking pretty vicious, even with the stock textures, I like .

I dunno why, but she reminds me of the Klingon ship seen in Ent, only updated for the 24th Century

 

[Terra_Inc]

Reminds me of Aad's K'Vargh, to be honest. Similar concept, but there are differences.
Looks good, although it would look even better with new textures.

 

[Majestic]

It's brilliant to see you're working on models for STA2 again Intrepid. Looking good.

 

[Hellkite]

Look good Intrepid

 

[StarBlade]

The Jenny Craig Vor'cha.

Not bad at all. I really like the design. What's the scale?

 

[thunderfoot]

Nice one! I've always enjoyed the fresh view you bring to something which the rest of us overlook. Your work is always an enjoyable surprise.

 

[EAS_Intrepid]

Thank you all!

@StarfleetKid: The vessel is about 150m long. (stock A2 Vor'cha: 200m)

Jenny Craig Vor'cha, lol.

 

[Jetfreak]

It's amazing how good the stock textures look on the model, really nice job on it.

 

[Syf]

This is a welcome surprise from you EAS. Nice... I like it a lot.

However, I thought the Vorcha is a bit bigger than 200m (I thought it is supposed to be more between 400m to over 600m), I could be wrong.

I began hardpointing the ship. It will be submitted for the download section by the end of the week.

The ship has been scaled to have three quarters the size of a stock A2 Vor'cha.

Still missing are a name for the vessel and a hardpoint map.

 

[Icewolf]

Oh nice I'll be looking forward to it's release, there are way to few Klingon ships out there, an awesome job Intrepid

 

[EAS_Intrepid]

I submitted the ship for the download section. It should be online, soon.

YEEEEEHAAWWWW! Really looking forward to it!

It's been uploaded to the site.

 

[EAS_Intrepid]

Thanks for uploading, Maj!

Thank you very much, people. It's an honour to receive so much praise from you guys

 

[thunderfoot]

I've taken the liberty if making some quick ingame screenies of this ship. Por encouragement les autres. Vielen Dank, Herr Intrepid, for the newest addition to the the Klingon Defense Force. I apologize for the FPS number up in the corner. I was so enthused about this ship I forgot to check my FRAPS settings until I started working the pics.
Map is 'High Noon'.

Spoiler: Var' yaH warp

Spoiler: Var' yaH cloaked

[Majestic]

Your welcome, also with your permission I will at a later date look at re-texturing this beauty of yours with Aad Moerman's Vorcha Textures.

 

[EAS_Intrepid]

@ thunderfoot: awesome images!
@ Maj: Sure!


.ms3d with hardpoints, .ms3d without hardpoints and unscaled as well as a .3ds-file for everyone who doesn't have Milkshape are attached.
